Olomouc

This week has been pretty good. The weather has been crazy and we get soaked everyday. The weather is just like Utah where one minute it will be raining and the next it will be super hot, the only difference is that it is really humid here.
This week we have had some really great lessons and opportunities to do service. A lady from our English class asked if we would come do service for her so we went over and painted a bench. We ended up teaching her all about the book of mormon and we are going over again this week. People here are super closed off but as soon as they start talking to us and start opening up we are able to talk to them about the gospel and they see for themselves how it can really help them. It is cool to see people finding these things for themselves and really knowing the truth of it.
We had a lesson with a guy we have been meeting with and he wanted to show us some magic tricks so we let him and they were actually really good. Then he told us that he could change our clothes without us even knowing but we told him that both of us are already wearing the same clothes just a different tie so he didn't do it.
We had our sports night on Saturday and met this guy that plays rugby. We were able to get some of the members and play rugby and volleyball with him and a few other guys that joined in. The rugby player asked us if we would join his rugby team but sadly we had to tell him no.
Sunday we went tracting and had some success. This guy answered the door and because he already knows the missionaries he brought us nonalcoholic beers and chocolate! The entire time we were tracting it was pouring rain so we got drenched. One guy gave us his umbrella that had elephants all over it but my companion broke it because he walked between two poles that were too skinny for the umbrella so it snapped. Haha now we have to buy him a new umbrella.
It was a great week though. I hope you all have a great week!
